"request taxi to the aeroclub"
Bad move - at most regional airports aero clubs have been squeezed into the back of beyond as more lucrative money making organisations for the airports have been given primary space, consequently parking is allocated accordingly.

If you choose to fly into the larger regional airports, almost all of which are operated by the BAA and are airports which don't need or want G/A (Glasgow being far more friendly, but no cheaper, than most), you pay up and shut up.
In nearly every case there are smaller airports nearby who will, not only serve your needs, but also welcome you with cheaper fees all round.
